ObjectiveTo assess the value of passive leg raising (PLR) test in predicting fluid responsiveness in patients with sepsis-induced cardiac dysfunction.Methods A prospective observational cohort study was conducted. Thirty-eight patients under mechanical ventilation suffering from sepsis-induced cardiac dysfunction admitted to Department of Surgical Intensive Care Unit of First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-Sen University from September 2013 to July 2014 were enrolled. The patients were studied in four phases: before PLR (semi-recumbent position with the trunk in 45°), PLR (the lower limbs were raised to a 45° angle while the trunk was in a supine position), before volume expansion (VE, return to the semi-recumbent position), and VE with infusing of 250 mL 5% albumin within 30 minutes. Hemodynamic parameters were recorded in every phase. The patients were classified into two groups according to their response to VE: responders (at least a 15% increase in stroke volume,ΔSVVE≥15%), and non-responders. The correlations among all changes in hemodynamic parameters were analyzed by linear correlation analysis, and the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) was plotted to assess the value of hemodynamic parameters before and after PLR in predicting fluid responsiveness.Results Of 38 patients, 25 patients were responders, and 13 non-responders. There was no significant difference in the baseline and hemodynamic parameters at semi-recumbent position between the two groups. The changes in SV and cardiac output (CO) after PLR (ΔSVPLR andΔCOPLR) were significantly higher in responders than those of non-responders [ΔSVPLR: (14.7±5.7)%vs. (6.4±5.3)%,t = 4.304,P = 0.000;ΔCOPLR: (11.2±7.5)% vs. (3.4±2.3)%,t = 3.454,P = 0.001], but there was no significant difference in the changes in systolic blood pressure, mean arterial pressure, pulse pressure, and heart rate after PLR (ΔSBPPLR,ΔMAPPLR,ΔPPPLR andΔHRPLR) between two groups.ΔSVVE in responders was significantly higher than that of the non-responders [(20.8±5.5) % vs. (5.0±3.7) %,t = 8.347,P = 0.000]. It was shown by correlation analysis thatΔSVPLR was positively correlated withΔSVVE (r = 0.593,P = 0.000),ΔCOPLR was positively correlated withΔSVVE (r = 0.494,P = 0.002). The area under ROC curve (AUC) ofΔSVPLR≥8.1% for predicting fluid responsiveness was 0.860±0.062 (P = 0.000), with sensitivity of 92.0% and specificity of 70.0%; the AUC ofΔCOPLR≥5.6% for predicting fluid responsiveness was 0.840±0.070 (P = 0.000), with sensitivity of 84.0%and specificity of 76.9%; the AUC ofΔMAPPLR≥6.9% for predicting fluid responsiveness was 0.662±0.089, with sensitivity of 68.0% and specificity of 76.9%; the AUC ofΔSBPPLR≥6.4% for predicting fluid responsiveness was 0.628±0.098, with sensitivity of 76.0% and specificity of 61.5%; the AUC ofΔPPPLR≥6.2% for predicting fluid responsiveness was 0.502±0.094, with sensitivity of 56.0% and specificity of 53.8%; the AUC ofΔHRPLR≥-1.7%for predicting fluid responsiveness was 0.457±0.100, with sensitivity of 56.0% and specificity of 46.2%.Conclusion In patients with sepsis-induced cardiac dysfunction, changes in SV and CO induced by PLR are accurate indices for predicting fluid responsiveness, but the changes in HR, MAP, SBP and PP cannot predict the fluid responsiveness.

BACKGROUND:Different weaving methods of autologous tendon lead to various treatment efficacies on cruciate ligament rupture, but the preferred method is stil controversial.
OBJECTIVE:To comparatively analyze the clinical efficacy of single-bundle and double-bundle autografts on anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.
METHODS:A retrospective analysis of 48 cases of anterior cruciate ligament rupture was performed. According to the composition of graft beam, these 48 patients were divided into two groups:double-bundle group (n=24) and single-bundle group (n=24). Al surgical patients underwent autologous anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction by arthroscopy, and were fol owed up for at least 6 months. The function of knee joint after operation was comprehensively analyzed through IKDC and Lysholm scores.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Al of the patients (n=48) exhibited no joint complications postoperatively, such as intra-articular infection, joint effusion and incision inflammation. The IKDC scores and Lysholm scores in the double-bundle group were better than those in the single-bundle group, but there was no statistical y significant difference (P>0.05). This study demonstrated that single-bundle and double-bundle autografts both have good curative effects on anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction by arthroscopy. But in contrast, the curative effects of double-bundle autografts are better.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the effect of Oxaliplatin (L-OHP) on cell cycle in hepatocellular carcinoma cell line HepG2 and the involved mechanism.
METHODSInhibitory effect of L-OHP on the proliferation of HepG2 cells was determined by MTT assay. Cell cycle distribution was shown by flow FCM. The expression levels of cyclinD1, CDK2, CDK4, p16, p21, p53 were detected by RT-PCR and Western blot.
RESULTSMTT method revealed that L-OHP inhibited proliferation of hepatocellular carcinoma HepG2 cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner. L-OHP induced S cell cycle arrest in HepG2 cell; down-regulated the levels of CDK4, cyclinD1 and up-regulated the levels of p21, p53. There were no significant changes of CDK2 and p16 after L-OHP treatment.
CONCLUSIONL-OHP inhibits the proliferation of HepG2 cells by blocking cell at S stage, which may be resulted from the activity of CDK4, CyclinD1 and p21.

Objective To investigate the effect of pulsed ultrasound therapy (US) on medial collateral liga-ment healing in rats and it's mechanism.MethodsEighteen 3-month-old male Sprague-Dawley rats with transected medial collateral ligaments (MCLs) were studied. They were randomly divided into a control group, a 0.5 W/cm~2 group and a 1. 0 W/cm~2 group.The control group was not given any treatment.The 0. 5 W/cm~2 group and 1.0 W/cm~2 group were given 10 minutes of pulsed US (duty cycle: on/off = 3 ms/1 ms) daily for 8 days at either 0.5 or 1.0 W/cm~2 intensity. All the rats were sacrificed on the 9th day. After macroscopic examination, their MCLs were harvested and studied using haematoxylin-eosin staining, Van Gieson's staining and immunohistochemical tech-niques in order to detect transforming growth factor beta-1(TGF-β1) and any histological or histochemical changes.ResultsMacroscopically, the lacerated MCLs had healed with scar tissue formation. Scarring appeared to be greater in the 0.5 W/cm~2 and 1.0 W/cm~2 groups than in the control group. Inflamed cells appeared to be more numerous in the treated groups than in the controls. There were significant differences in collagen fiber extent among all three groups. In the 1.0 W/cm~2 group, the average level of TGF-β1 was significantly up-regulated, and TGF-β1 expres-sion was higher than in the other two groups.ConclusionsPulsed US can improve ligament healing in the short term, however whether long-term treatment with US can yield further improvement is unknown. Pulsed US can in-crease the level of TGF-β1, which will be higher with higher US dosage. Pulsed US may enhance injored ligament re-pair by up-regulating TGF-β1.Objective To investigate the effect of pulsed ultrasound therapy (US) on medial collateral liga-ment healing in rats and it's mechanism.MethodsEighteen 3-month-old male Sprague-Dawley rats with transected medial collateral ligaments (MCLs) were studied.

Objective To establish an animal model of knee osteoarthritis (OA) , and to explore the relationship between cartilage degeneration and the expression of IL-1β and MMP-1. Methods A total of 16 healthy male rabbits (32 hind knee joints) were used. The experimental OA model was established in their left knees by intraarticular injection of0.2 ml of 4% papain solution and 0.1 ml of 0.03 mol/L L-cysteine solution. The right knees were used as the controls and were treated with intraarticular injection of 0.3 ml of normal saline solution. General and histological scoring, and IL-1β and MMP-1 expression intensity were compared between the 2 groups. Results The degree of cartilage degeneration in the left knees was higher than in the right knees as observed by naked eye and using an electron microscope. The left knees scored significantly higher than the right ones with Mankin's scoring system. There was significantly greater expression of IL-1β and MMP-1 in the chondrocytes of the left knees. Conclusions lntraarticular injection of papain and L-cysteine can induce experimental knee osteoarthritis in rabbits. The expression of IL-1β and MMP-I is significantly related with carti-lage degeneration.

Objective To investigate the effects of uhrashortwave therapy and passive motion on experimen-tal osteoarthritis caused by immobilization of the joint. Methods Twenty healthy male rabbits had their left knee joints fixed in extension for 4 weeks. They were randomly divided into 4 groups : a control group which did not receive any treatment, an uhrashortwave therapy group, a passive motion group, and an ultrashortwave therapy plus passive motion group, and treated accordingly for 4 weeks. The range of motion of the joint before and after treatment was compared in every group. At the end of the 4th week, all the rabbits were sacrificed, and the cartilage at the condylus medialis femoris was sampled and observed with toluidine blue staining, haematoxylin-eosin staining. Its gross appearance was noted and it was also analyzed using immunohistochemical techniques. Results ①Passive range of motion (PROM): there were no significant differences among the 4 groups before the treatment. Uhrashortwave therapy per se did not yield significant therapeutic effects in terms of PROM as compared to the controls, However, passive motion alone and in conjunction with ultrashortwave therapy brought about significant improvement of PROM when compared against the control group. The most significant change was seen in the integrated group, followed by the passive motion group. ②The histological scoring system : Mankin's scoring system showed significant differences a-mong all 4 groups. The highest value was the control group, which was followed by the ultrashortwave therapy group, the passive motion group and the integrated group. ③The positive expression rate of inducible nitric oxide synthase: there were significant differences among all 4 groups. The control group had the highest values, followed by the ultra-shortwave treated group, the passive motion treated group and the integrated group. Conclusions Ultrashortwave therapy, passive motion therapy and integrated therapy combining ultrashortwave therapy with passive motion can all can reduce and prevent the cataplasia of articular cartilage. Integrated therapy is the best treatment method, followed by passive motion therapy, and then uhrashortwave therapy.
